Hi all,
I bought a Turnigy 9X and I'm building an Arducopter, and I'm a total newbie for what pertains airborne RC models.
From what I understood the Turnigy is basically the same (or very similar) HW of more expensive radio. The thing that keeps is c

My new DX7 allows me 2 more channels theoretically, but I'm stumped as to how to implement it for changin

I now have 6 spares for sale, 880KV soldered to AC ESC 20A, 3 wired up for CW rotation, 3 for CCW. Also have 3 pair of 12 x 45 props never used.

Its it possible to set servo limits through mission planner or do I have to edit it in the code somewhere?

I suffered a pretty bad crash last week and since then I can't get my compass to work anymore. However, I am not sure if it's the compass that's actually broken or maybe my IMU board.
Just loaded 2.0.39 from MP .54 (stock AC frame, MB1200,compass). I tested sonar alt hold and loiter - seem very good now. Sonar hold stayed within a few inches (under .38 I got +-1 foot slow oscillation, no osc now). Loiter stayed good within a few f

I'm in the process of making an autonomous quadrotor helicopter UAV.
A concept that I have not been able to solidify or find anywhere is what exactly quantifies the manuevering and behavior of a quadrotor helicopter?

They seem to be used quite often with the MK platform.

Hi all,
I'm flying an Easystar with APM 2.11, it's had many flights and generally flies well. I have however noticed an issue in that the plane seems to overshoot waypoints when flying in a northerly direction, regardless of wind direction.
